Lots of stuff here that isn’t correct – H ave to agree with several people and add:

1. Shatter confusion is very strong but it isn’t as flashy as lots of other builds or classes. Can do this with just about any weapon but in sPvP it’s alot better if one is a scepter. This just melts any high speed attack class spec – example SB rangers.
2. Shatter conditions + confusion is incredibly strong, IMO it’s incredibly boring, but that is more about play style.
3. With LOS issues phants are currently under performing, this is much worse in WvW and certain aspects of PvE than others.

The problem is that the phant spec is buggy right now. If you LOS correctly phants become frozen but you shatter skills cause all clones to “fix” themselves in regard to LOS.

People who understand this simply change the z axis of the game, or run behind something on a different elevation, and phants become pretty useless.
